INTRODUCTORY REMARKS- 



Man is the triumphant culmination of the Creator's handi- 
work on earth. His normal condition, in common with the 
rest of the animal creation, is Health, the attainment, preserva- 
tion and enjoyment of which is mainly within his own powers 
and choice. 

It is true that in individual cases the functions of the mind 
or body may be deficient; unless this is the result of accident, 
it can be surely traced to imprudence or neglect, perhaps both, 
on either his own part or that of his progenitors. 

Human life is the union of two functions, — the mind, and 
the body, — co-existent but distinct ; both need appropriate 
nurture and development ; neither can be neglected or abused 
without detriment to the other. 

Young people of both sexes have ample opportunities with- 
in reach for training and educating the mind ; but how often 
is the discipline and development of their muscular strength 
neglected or even ignored ! 

The health of the body, depends very greatly on proper 
physical culture. "With the exception of a few diseases con- 
tracted from extraneous causes, the large majority of ailments 
proceed from within the human system, and are the result of an 
inexcusable neglect or an actual defiance of Nature's laws. 

The mental faculties are rarely at rest, and except in sleep, 
are actively at work, often without, or in spite of, the will or 
desire. 

The physical powers are always at rest, unless set to work 



6 INTR OB UGTOR Y REMARKS. 

by will or desire, inert unless used, although specially created 
for activity and motion. 

Every movement of the body or limbs is the resultant of 
two inseparable bat independent forces ; — the nerves which 
contract the muscles, and the muscles which produce the motion. 

The nerves of motion are the connecting link or messengers 
between the brain which wills and the muscles which execute 
the will. 

The brain is incited to action by another system of nerves, 
which carry and report to it the sensations of feeling, sight, 
hearing, taste and touch, from every point of sensation. 

These two sets of nerves are intimately sympathetic and 
greatly depend on each other for efficiency. 

As the principal end and aim of this entire complex system 
is executive, it can easily be understood that unless the muscles 
(the executive) are inured to skillful and energetic use, the 
promptings of the mind will be greatly hampered in their ful- 
fillment, and physical inability is only too likely to reduce 
mental energy. On the contrary, by increasing the effective 
power of the muscles, the scope and capabilities of the entire 
body, and consequently of the mind, will be correspondingly 
enlarged. 

Physical exercise also, by bringing the muscles into 
systematic and energetic play, while it develops and strengthens 
them, revitalizes the blood by increased respiration, stimulates 
the circulation, and imparts health and vigor to both body and 
brain. 

The routine of physical exercise should be so devised and 
regulated as to bring every member of the body and every 
muscle in each member into uniform and well-balanced 
efficiency. 

The series of exercises introduced into this work is just such 
as is calculated to produce these results, and the greatest 
benefit will surely follow a judicious and regular periodical use 
of them. 

One important point is too often ignored. All the muscles 
have their counterparts, right and left. We train the muscles 
of the right hand to fulfil certain conditions ; exactly similar 
muscles exist in the left hand ; why should not they receive 
the same training? Why should not both hands be equally 
instructed to write, to cut, and the many other acquirements 
to which the right hand is usually and exclusively trained ? 



INTR OB TJCTOR Y REMARKS. 7 

There are many good reasons why the instruction of 
young persons should be imparted to them in classes. It 
brings them into social intercourse under proper restraint ; 
it excites a wholesome spirit of emulation ; it accustoms them 
to the routine of discipline ; it insures regularity of exertion 
at proper intervals, and it interests the mind while it benefits 
the body. The one thing to be guarded against is the risk of 
overtaxing the weaker in their endeavor to keep pace with the 
stronger members of the class. 



HINTS TO TEACHERS. 

As each exercise in this work is arranged to strengthen a 
certain class of muscles, no one exercise should be repeated 
long enough to fatigue and strain the muscles specially brought 
into play ; it is important, therefore, to vary the exercises as 
much as possible, adopting preferably the order in which they 
occur in the book. 

Insist on every movement being accurately and fully 
performed ; half-movements are useless. 

Give the word of command clearly, pronouncing the final 
starting word short and sharp to secure unanimity of action. 

Guard against performing the motions too slowly, it tends 
to fatigue ; avoid, also, too great rapidity, it detracts from 
precision The cadence of the music must be regulated to 
fulfill these conditions. 

At the first signs of fatigue, order a short recess, during 
which some recreation may be devised to interest the mental 
faculties while it rests and refreshes the body. 

Arrange the members of the class in the order of their 
height, and adapt the size and weight of the implements used 
in the exercises to the size and strength of the pupils. Dumb- 
bells, for instance, should be used sparingly by young children, 
and never over two pounds in weight ; two to three pounds 
are usually sufficient weight for girls; three to four pounds 
for boys of twelve, and four to five pounds for youths. These 
weights are sufficient to develop strength without over- 
exertion, because the practical weight of a Dumb-bell is greatly 
increased by the momentum acquired in swinging it. 

Be careful that the room in which class exercises are con- 
ducted is sufficiently spacious and lofty to allow of thorough 



8 INTR OD UCTOR Y REMARKS. 

ventilation ; impure air and dust will more than counteract the 
benefits derived from the exercises. 

The temperature of the room is also a very important point 
to be observed. If too warm, the perspiration resulting from 
energetic action is unduly excited, and by its enervating influ- 
ence induces languor and premature fatigue ; if, on the con- 
trary, the room is insufficiently warmed, there is danger of the 
body becoming chilled during the intervals of rest and inaction. 
A temperature of about sixty-five degrees will fulfill the requi- 
site conditions, and ensure the best results. 

As teachers may naturally be supposed to possess the 
experience needed for the management of their classes, it is 
deemed advisable to leave all the minor details of deportment 
and order to their own judgment and discretion. 



HINTS ON DKESS. 

The best costume for both sexes is that which unites the 
greatest freedom of action with the least possible obstruction 
to the motion of the limbs. For boys, a light, easy flannel 
shirt, knickerbocker trousers without suspenders or knee 
fastenings, stockings and easy shoes preferably of canvas or 
duck, with very low heels or no extra thickness on the heel at 
all. For girls an easy waist of light flannel, a short skirt, full 
enough for perfect freedom of the limbs and no more, stockings 
and shoes similar to those worn by the boys; no corset. 
Both boys and girls may wear a belt, not tight, but only fairly 
supporting the waist, and keeping the garments in their places. 
The entire costume should be prepared with a view to protect 
the body fully in accordance with the temperature of the 
room, but not to induce undue perspiration : to allow full 
scope for the expansion of the chest, and for perfect freedom 
of action to the body and limbs, without being unnecessarily 
loose and cumbersome. 



PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTION. 



S. l-POSITION OF THE PUPIL. 

The pupils should " Fall in " in single rank, and stand 
with the shoulders and body square to the front. The heels 
must be in line, and closed ; the knees straight ; the toes 
turned out, so that the feet may form an angle of 45 
degrees ; the arms hanging easily from the shoulder, the 
hands open, thumbs to the front and close to the forefinger, 
fingers lightly touching the thigh ; the hips rather drawn 
back ; the chest well braced up, but without constraint : the 
body straight and inclining forward so that the weight of it 
may bear principally on the fore part of the feet ; the head 
erect, but not thrown back ; the chin slightly drawn in, and 
the eyes looking straight to the front. 

When the pupils " Fall in " for instruction, they will be 
taught to place themselves in the position above described. 

The pupils will then be numbered from right to left, 
and on the word " March " (to be given by the Teacher), 
the odd numbers will take one pace to the front, and the 
even numbers will step back one pace. 

N.B. — The words in the margin printed in italics are 
the commands to be given by the Teacher. 



S. 2-STANDING AT EASE. 

Pupils will first be taught the motions of Standing at 
Ease by Numbers, then by Judging the Time. 



IO 



(1)— By Numbers. 
Caution — Stand at Ease by Numbers, 

On the word "One," raise the arms from 
the elbows, left hand in front of the centre of 
the body, as high as the waist, palm upwards ; 
One\ the right hand as high as the right breast, 
palm to the left front; both thumbs separated 
from the fingers, and the elbows close to the 
sides. 

Two \ ^ n t ^ ie word " Two," strike the palm of the 
\ right hand on that of the left. 

f On the word "Three," drop the arms to their full 

I extent, keeping the hands together, and passing 

Three-l the right hand over the back of the left as they 

] fall ; at the same time draw back the right foot 

[ six inches, and slightly bend the left knee. 

When the motions are completed, the arms must hang 

loosely and easily, the fingers pointing towards the ground, 

the right thumb lightly held between the thumb and palm 

of the left hand ; the body must incline forward, the weight 

being on the right leg, and the whole attitude without 

constraint. 

—-At \ ^ n t ^ ie word " Attention," spring up to the 
tention \ P osition described in S - *• 

(2)— By Judging the Time. 
Caution — Stand at Ease, Judging the Time. 



o f j( On the word " Ease," go through the motions 
a P J described in the Standing at Ease by Numbers, 
P \ distinctly but smartly, and without any pause 
V between them. 

Squad — Attention. As before. 

If the command " Stand at Ease " is followed by the 
word " Easy," the pupils will be permitted to move their 



II 

limbs, but without quitting their ground, so that on coming 
to " Attention " no one shall have materially lost his or her 
dressing in line. If the pupils are required to keep their 
dressing accurately, they should be cautioned not to move 
their left feet. 

On the word " Squad " being given tapupils standing 
easy, every pupil will at once assume the position of 
Standing at Ease. 



S. 3-TUBNDTGS. 

In going through the Turnings, the pupil must turn as 
on a pivot, without a jerk ; the arms, head, and body being 
kept perfectly steady, the movement being with the feet. 

3D- // ( On the word "Turn," raise the right toe and 
.* < the left heel, and turn a quarter circle to the right 
( on the right heel and left toe. 

( On the word " Two," bring up the left heel to 
Two j the right, placing the left foot on the ground with 
( a distinct beat. 

j- r. ( On the word " Turn," raise the left toe and the 

J, 1 right heel, and turn a quarter circle to the left on 
( the left heel and right toe. 

C On the word " Two," bring up the right heel to 
Twol the left, placing the right foot on the ground with 
(^a distinct beat. 

Half- ( On the word " Turn," raise the right toe and 
right — -J the left heel, and turn an eighth of a circle to the 
Turn [ right on the right heel and left toe. 

C On the word " Two," bring up the left heel to 
Two < the right, placing the left foot on the ground with 
( a distinct beat. 

Half- ( On the word " Turn," raise the left toe and the 
left — J right heel, and turn an eighth of a circle to the 
Turn (left on the left heel and right toe. 

i On the word " Two," bring up the right heel to 
Two J the left, placing the right foot on the ground with 

( a distinct beat. 



12 



i On the word "About," raise the left toe and 
About 1 the right heel, and turn a half circle to the left on 
( the left heel and right toe. 

( On the word " Two," bring up the right heel to 
Two< the left, placing the right foot on the ground with 
(^a distinct beat. 



S. 4-BALANCE STEP. 

The object of the Balance Step is to teach the pupil 
the very foundation of what constitutes a graceful gait or 
carriage, and no labour should be spared to attain this 
end. During the movements the body must be kept 
perfectly steady and well forward, the shoulders also being 
square to the front. 

(D— Without Advancing. 

Caution — Balance Step, commencing with the Left Foot. 

On the word "Front," the left foot will be 
raised from the ground by a slight bend of the 
knee, and carried gently to the front without a 
F- nil J er ^' tne k- nee being gradually straightened as the 
foot is carried forward ; the foot to be turned out 
at the same angle as when halted, the sole 
parallel to and clear of the ground, the heel just 
Jn advance of the line of the right toe. 

f On the word " Rear," given when the body is 

steady, the left foot will be brought gently back 

Rear\ without a jerk, till the toe is in line with the right 

| heel, clear of the ground ; the left knee to be a 

\Jittle bent. 

When steady, the words " Front " and " Rear " will be 

repeated several times, and the motions performed as above 

described. 

( On the word " Halt, which should always be 
Halt ) S* ven wnen tne moving foot is in rear, that foot 
j will be brought to the ground with a beat in line 
V with the other. 



For- 



13 

Tke pupils will afterwards be taught to balance upon 
the left foot, carrying the right foot forward and backward. 
Standing on one leg and swinging the other backward and 
forward without constraint is an excellent practice. 

(2)— Advancing. 
Caution — Balance Step, Advancing on the word "Forward." 

F A On the word "Front," the left foot will be 
ron \ carried to the front as before. 

As soon as the pupils are steady in the above 
position the word "Forward" will be given, on 
which the left foot will be brought to the ground 
at from 20 to 30 inches distant (according to the 
""" j -^ age of the pupil) from heel to heel, toes turned 
out at the same angle as when halted ; and the 
right foot will immediately be raised and held 
extended to the rear, toe in line with the left heel, 
Jhe right knee to be slightly bent. 

Great care must be taken that the toes remain through- 
out at the same angle ; that the body accompanies the leg, 
and remains straight but inclining forward, and that the 
head is erect and turned neither to right nor left. 

Front $ ^ n ^ e worc * "Front," the right foot will be 
( brought forward, and so on alternately. 

f On the word " Halt," which should always be 
Halt < &* ven wnen tne moving foot is to the front, that 
\ foot will complete its pace, and the rear foot will 
Cbe brought up in line with it. 



S. 5-THE SLOW MARCH. 

The main objects to be attained by this drill are 
cadence, length of step and direction, and, as these are an 
essential preparation for securing an accurate and graceful 
carriage, the pupils should be thoroughly instructed in this 
step.

on the word 
the left foot will be carried 20 to 30 
inches to the front as before directed, and, as 
soon as it reaches the ground, the right foot will 
be carried a similar distance to the front, and so 
^on alternately. For Music, see page 103. 



S. 6-THE aUICK MARCH. 

f The time having been given on the piano, or 
other musical instrument at hand, on the word 

I " March," the squad will step off with a beat with 

J the left feet, head erect, chest well braced up, 
arms steady by the sides, taking a pace of 
from 20 to 30 inches, and about 120 paces a 

^minute. For Music, see page 105.

S. 7-THE DOUBLE MARCH. 

On the word " March," or " Double"— the time 
having been given on the piano or other musical 
instrument at hand — the squad will step off to- 
gether with the left feet, taking a pace of from 23 
to 33 inches and about 165 paces a minute; at 
the same time raising the hands as high as the 
waist, closing the fists and carrying back the 
^elbows. For Music, see page 75.

S. 8-MARKING TIME. 

On the words " Mark Time," the foot then ad- 
vancing will complete its pace, after which the 
cadence will be continued, without advancing, by 
raising each foot alternately about three inches 
from the ground, keeping the body steady ; on the 
L word forward, the usual pace will be resumed. 



J 5 
S. 9-CHANGING STE2. 

To change step in marching the advancing foot 
will complete its pace, and the ball of the rear 
foot will be brought up quickly to the heel of the 
Change^ advanced one, which will instantly make another 
step forward, so that the cadence will not be lost — - 
in fact, two successive steps will be taken with the 
same foot. 



•Feet 



S. 10-THE SIDE OR CLOSING STEP. 
(D— By Numbers. 

Caution — Right Close, by Numbers. 

( On the word " One," carry the right foot 1 2 

One-: inches to the right, keeping the head and shoulders 

( perfectly square to the front and the knees straight. 

T ( On the word " Two," bring the left foot smartly 
\ up to the right, heels touching, 

Repeat as above till the required distance is gained, 
and on the word " Halt " being given, the left foot will be 
closed on the right. 

(2) -By Judging the Time. 

Caution — Right . Close, Judging the Time. 

p- /* f On the word " March," each pupil will carry the 

Jf l J right foot 12 inches direct to the right, and in- 

n . , ' -{ stantly close the left foot to it, thus completing 

j. * j \ the pace : the next pace will be taken in the same 

(manner. 

tt jA On the word " Halt," the pupils will complete 
\ the pace they are taking and remain steady. 

Pupils should be practised in closing to the left by 
numbers, and judging the time in the same manner.

FIRST DIVISION. 



L-MARCHING DRILL 



The following exercises require a large room, or an 
oblong space, and with the aid of music, and by alternating 
from walking to running and vice versa, the monotony may 
be greatly relieved. 

In the running drill a healthy circulation is promoted 
and the lung power is increased ; but care should be taken 
not to run too long a distance at first. The heels should 
not touch the ground, but the weight of the body should be 
sustained upon the ball of each foot. If this Rule is ob- 
served, it will do much to abolish flat feet and knock-knees, 
and give instead a healthy and graceful carriage. Two or 
more Leaders should be selected and placed on the right, 
and the rest of the pupils should carefully follow their foot- 
steps. 

In marching, the pupil must maintain the position of 
the head and body as directed in S. i. The movements of 
the leg must spring from the haunch and be free and na- 
tural. Both knees must be kept straight, except while the 
leg is being carried from the rear to the front, when the 
knee must necessarily be a little bent, to enable the foot to 
clear the ground. The foot must be carried straight to the 
front without a jerk, the knee being gradually straightened 
as the foot is carried forward, the sole parallel to and clear 
of the ground, and, without being drawn back, placed softly 
on the ground so as not to jerk or shake the body; the toes 
turned out at the same angle as when halted. 

The class should be formed up, two deep on one of the 
sides of the room, or oblong space, and at " stand at ease."

Caution — Marching Drill. 



Attention. As before. 

Number. As before. 

On the word " Dress," each pupil in the front 
rank, except the one on the right, will turn the 
head and eyes slightly in the direction named, and 
will take up his or her dressing in line by moving, 
with short quick steps, till he or she is just able, 
to distinguish the lower part of the face of the 
' rf " \ second pupil beyond him or her ; care must be 
taken that the body is carried backward or for- 
ward with the feet, the shoulders being kept per- 
fectly square in their original position. The pupils 
in the rear rank {i.e. the second row) will look 
straight to the front and cover the pupil in front of 
them.

MILITARY DUMB BELL EXERCISES. 



The following exercises have a double value. They 
not only exercise all the parts of the body, and t|ius tend to 
develope its different muscles and improve the carriage of 
the pupil, but they can also be engaged in by a number of 
pupils at the same time, and by the same word of com- 
mand. 

The position of the teacher should be opposite the 
centre of the pupils, and, as a rule, the teacher should 
execute every movement while giving the word of command. 
If the exercises are shewn by the teacher while facing the 
pupils they should be done in the opposite way, e.g., when 
the command " left foot forward " is given by the teacher, 
he or she should act as if the command " right foot for- 
ward " had been given. 

The weight of the bells should be from 2 to 6 lbs. ; and 
for children they should be made of wood.

INDIAN CLUB EXERCISES. 



Indian Clubs are generally made of Pine or Hard 
Wood, and may be polished or stained and varnished 
— the upper part of handle should be polished in 
order to minify the friction and give an easy feeling 
to the hands while performing the exercises. The 
exercises are graceful and picturesque, give uniform 
employment to the upper part of the body, and are 
capable of adjustment to suit the strength of every 
learner. Clubs are generally 24 inches in length, 
the thick end being about 3|-inches in diameter. 
The following sizes are recommended : — 

For Infants, . . . 1 foot 8 inches by 3 inches. 
„ Boys and Girls, 1 „ 9 „ by 4 „ 
„ Adults, ... 2 feet 4 „ by 4 „ 

When falling in for Club Exercise, the squad 
should be formed up in two ranks at close order — 
the Clubs at the slope (when the Clubs are at the 
slope, the elbows should be close to the side and the 
forearm horizontal — see Fig. 1), and numbered from 
right to left, after which the squad should be turned 
to the right and marched round the gymnasium or 
room in quick time, halted, turned to the front, and 
made to stand at ease.- See March page 35.

FREE GYMNASTIC EXERCISES. 



The movements in the free exercises are 
performed without any apparatus, and may be 
executed by many pupils together. An orderly and 
exact execution of the exercises by many pupils 
at once is made possible by this being done, as in 
military exercises, at word of command. The follow- 
ing exercises have been arranged and adapted either 
for boys or girls so that all parts of the body should 
be equally exercised. The addition of music has been 
found not only to make the exercises more amusing 
and entertaining, but to have the effect of cultivating 
the ear by the recognition of time and tune. Before 
beginning each exercise a chord should be sounded 
on the piano, in order to secure the attention of the 
pupils. 

The Pupils will fall in in two ranks at close order, 

and at " Stand at Ease," and be numbered from right 

to left.

DUMB BELL EXERCISES. 



Exercise with Dumb Bells is real and effective. 
It admits of being exactly proportioned to the in- 
dividual strength of each learner. It can be adjusted 
to the advancing capacity of the learner, the weight 
of the bell being increased with the strength of the 
pupil. The exercises give fair employment to all 
parts of the body, and to both sides equally. They 
are capable of being executed not only by an entire 
squad at one time, and by the same word of com- 
mand, but also by many squads, or by the entire 
number of pupils who may at one time be present. 
The positions and movements are of the first rank, 
and are directly and powerfully conducive to erect- 
ness of carriage and freedom of limb. 

The position of the teacher should be opposite 
the centre facing the pupils. Better time will be kept 
and the spirit of the practice will be better sustained 
by the teacher executing each movement while giving 
the word of command. 

Dumb Bells may be made either of wood or iron. 
For children, we recommend wooden bells. The 
weight for boys, ij lbs. ; youths, 2\ lbs. ; and adults, 
4 lbs. 

The Pupils will fall in in two ranks at close order, 
and be numbered from right to left. 

Opening Banks. 

Open C On the word "March," the front rank will 

out ? take three paces to the front, stepping off

(numbers one pace to the rear.

HOOP DRILL. 

/ 

The following exercises are remarkable for their 
simplicity, and on that account are specially suitable 
for infants. They are included in the manual not so 
much on account of their intrinsic value, as that they 
afford an agreeable diversion, by which the attention 
and interest of the children is maintained. 

The Hoops used should be about 25 inches in 
diameter. 

The pupils will fall in in two ranks, at close 
order, and at " Stand at Ease," with the Hoop in the 
right hand. 

OPENING BANES. 

Attention. As usual.

BAR BELL EXERCISES, 



The Bar Bell or Two Handed Dumb Bell is a 
stick with a ball or knob at each end, made of ash, 
about five feet long, and an inch in diameter. The 
following exercises have been arranged so that every 
muscle of the body will be brought into play. Some 
of the exercises will be found of considerable value in 
developing the chest and abdominal muscles. In 
addition, the positions assumed are more striking and 
graceful than in the Dumb Bell Exercises, and, when 
done by a large number of pupils at once, prove most 
effective. If space permits, the pupil should be taught 
to march with the bell behind the shoulder (Fig. a) ; 
special care being taken that the head is kept well 
back. A walking stick or broom-handle, if of the 
requisite length, may be efficiently used as a substitute 
for the bell. 

The pupils will fall in in two ranks, at close 
order, standing at ease, bell in right hand, and by the 
right side (Fig. b), |$

Book of Phonography in our educational institutions, has been revised and 
corrected, year after year, by its inventor, and is now presented in its latest and

to each game plain and easily comprehensible. The difficulty usually attending

and terseness of expression in the text, and the illustrations serve to dispel any possi- 
ble ambiguity that might be unavoidable without their aid. The work is attractive 
in style and elegant in execution, and will prove an interesting companion for many 

a solitary hour. Quarto. Illustrated. Paper cover 75cts.

lated, Abridged and Arranged from the French Works of Desbarrolles, D'Arpentigny

above-named authorities on Palmistry. 

The various lines and mounts on the palm of the hand, and the typical formation 
of the hand and fingers are all clearly explained and illustrated by diagrams. The 
meaning to be deduced from the greater or less development of these mounts and 
lines (each of which has its own signification), also from the length, thickness and 
shape of the tbumb and fingers, and from the mutual bearing they exercise en 
each other, is all distinctly explained. 

Complete facility for instant reference is insured by means of marginal notes by which 
any point of detail may be found and consulted at a glance. 

By means of this book the hitherto occult mystery of Palmistry is made simple and 
easy, and the whole Art may be acquired without difficulty or delay. It is emphati- 
cally Palmistry in a nutshell, and by its use, character and disposition can be dis- 
cerned and probable future destiny foretold with surprising accuracy. Illuminated
